A one-bedroom two-bath condo with a home office and a washer and dryer in a prewar doorman building. Brian Rice (212) 444-7969, Douglas Albert (212) 444-7940, Corcoran; corcoran.com

COMMON CHARGE: $1,261 a month; taxes: $887 a month

PROS: The space was graciously renovated with wide wood-plank floors, custom-made doors, and dark wood details including ceiling beams and built-in shelves. The kitchen and bathrooms have very sleek finishes.

CONS: The home office is large enough to be a second bedroom, but it is an interior room and has no window.
